Ohio Outlook
While Ohio has been a model of consistency this decade they will be breaking in a new starter under center. Fifth-year senior Greg Windham Jr. will finally have an opportunity to lead his Bobcats’ offense after taking a tragic and twisting route through his college career. Windham’s perseverance and faith is inspiring in an era flush with pla02 Sep 2016 15:00:07 -0400http://network.yardbarker.com/college_football/article_external/texas_state_vs_ohio_game_preview/s1_14605_21715792

On Monday afternoon the University of Louisville Football Program released the first official depth chart of the season. While there are no major surprises, here is a breakdown of what we learned.
Offense
With the toe injury to DeVante Parker, the first thing I directed my eyes to was the Wide Receiver position. The slot receiver spot has belonged to Eli Rogers for quite some time. Backing up Eli will be Michaelee Harris. Keep in mind that both of these guys can play the outside, and I expect we will see them line up that way on occasion. Starting on the outsides are Kai De La Cruz and local standout James Quick. No real surprise there, but expect to see backup Matt Milton used early and often.
With Michael Dyer’s slowed progression from a nagging leg injury I wasn’t quite sure where we’d see him, but it seems the staff has faith as he is still listed in the two-deep. Dom Brown is your starter followed by Dyer and true freshman L.J. Scott, then Brandon Radcliff 26 Aug 2014 08:42:42 -0400http://network.yardbarker.com/college_football/article_external/week_one_depth_chart_breakdown/s1_8247_17135288

The University of Louisville’s defensive secondary has been an interesting group to follow since new Head Coach Bobby Petrino arrived on campus. Glaring concerns for help were apparent to most, and even more so when Petrino began heavily concentrating on transfers (both FBS and JUCO).

Louisville fans are counting down the hours, minutes and seconds for Friday evening’s annual Spring Game. Fans will get their first glimpse of the Bobby Petrino era number two at 7:30 PM. As expected, the standard spring game format will apply.
The first team offense will go against the second team defense, and the second team offense go against the first-team defense. Coach Petrino said on Thursday that the scrimmage will use a regular game clock with four 15-minute quarters. He also noted that there may be a running clock during the second half.
Here are the projected lineups for the first and second string on both offense and defense. Keep in mind, there are multiple players on both sides of the ball that are sitting out due to injury.
First Team Offense
QB: Will Gardner, RS So.
RB: Dominique Brown, RS Sr.
WR: DeVante Parker, Sr

Louisville head football coach Bobby Petrino conducted a press conference on Thursday afternoon to preview Friday evening’s annual spring game.
Coach Petrino had plenty of good things to say about his team, but unfortunately, he did share some tough news.
Redshirt junior safety Jermaine Reve suffered a knee injury during spring practices and will be “out for some time.” Petrino didn’t elaborate much on the injury, but certainly appears to be somewhat serious.
Reve is one of the more experienced returning defensive backs on the Louisville roster. The Miami native has played in every game for the Cards over the past two seasons. He’s spent time at both the safety and cornerback positions, but was expected to play safety this year.
The 6-foot 180-pound defensive specialist was part of the infamous Louisville – Miami Northwestern H.S. connection that brought in the likes Teddy Bridgewater, Corvin Lamb, Eli Rogers and Michaelee Harris.
Coach Petrino noted that he has concerns 10 Apr 2014 14:10:21 -0400http://network.yardbarker.com/college_football/article_external/louisville_defensive_back_jermaine_reve_will_be_out_for_some_time/s1_8247_16240141

University of Louisville’s new(ish) Head Coach Bobby Petrino will embark on his first Annual Spring football game since returning to the program that he lead to it’s first major bowl win since the early 90′s non Friday evening at 7:30pm.
One of the most interesting storylines with a new coach and staff is how things will play out with the roster that the former staff had put in place. In this case, due to graduation, injury, or even simply underutilized talent, the Cards will introduce fans to some unfamiliar or slightly familiar names. Here are a handful of guys from the defensive unit that fans may want to get to know leading up to Friday’s temporary taste of pigskin.
When the Spring Depth Chart was release just prior to practice kicking off, one of the more surprising additions was that of listed speedy starter Charles “Chucky” Williams at Strong Safety. Gerod Holliman had hardly locked up that spot with his play during the previous season, but nonetheless 09 Apr 2014 09:55:49 -0400http://network.yardbarker.com/college_football/article_external/spring_game_preview_defensive_players_to_watch/s1_8247_16221760

With the Louisville football program conducting their first spring practice of the year this afternoon, the smell of pig skin is back in the air. Below is a brief spring primer for you as we ramp up Bobby Petrino’s second stint with the Louisville program.
Will spring ball be Will Gardner’s coming out party and will he be able to hold off a boatload of young talent behind him?
It’s unknown at this point if previously injured Michael Dyer will be available for any snaps throughout the next few weeks, but if he does it’ll be interesting to see if he can move up the depth chart where he is currently listed behind Dominique Brown, Brandon Radcliff and true freshman early enrollee LJ Scott.
With Damian Copeland gone and training for professional football the Z position at wide receiver is currently open for the taking. The early spring depth chart has Michaelee Harris listed as starter, but he will have a tough fight ahead of him with local standout 18 Mar 2014 12:04:06 -0400http://network.yardbarker.com/college_football/article_external/louisville_spring_football_primer/s1_8247_16035199

The University of Louisville football program recently updated its very early spring football depth chart. As usual, there are some surprises, some missing names and a laundry list of injuries. Weeks, days and maybe even hours into spring football (which begins next week) this depth chart may look drastically different.
Keep in mind when evaluating this depth chart that of the injured listed below include what I would think is a minimum of three starters. Also, any incoming freshman that where not early enrollees will not be listed until they make it to campus.
Offense
No surprise, just a reminder: The QB spot will be a battle between a sophomore with minimal in-game experience, a redshirt freshman and a true freshman.
Brandon Radcliff and true freshman early enrollee LJ Scott are both currently listed above former National Championship game MVP Michael Dyer. I wouldn’t look to deep into this as Dyer has spent a great deal of time recovering from 13 Mar 2014 09:16:09 -0400http://network.yardbarker.com/college_football/article_external/breaking_down_the_spring_football_depth_chart/s1_8247_15996037

Charile Strong will welcome in his 2013 recruiting class and a handful of transfers will be eligible for the first time. With just a couple more scholarships available, Louisville’s 2013 recruiting class looks to be about 95% complete. Here is an early look at what is available on the defensive side of the ball in 2013.
Defensive Line - Louisville returns its entire defensive line from the 2012 season. Even though the Cards line left some things to be desired at some points throughout the season, there is much to be said about returning that much experience. Deiontrez Mount, Lorenzo Mauldin, Marcus Smith, Roy Philon, Brandon Dunn, BJ Dubose, JamaineBrooks, Sheldon Rankins and DeAngelo Brown have all played significant minutes for the Cards. Battling these guys for minutes will be 2012 commit Pedro Sibiea and current 2013 commits 4-Star De’Asian Richardson, 3-Star Finesse Middleton and 3-Star Kyle 01 Feb 2013 12:01:23 -0500http://network.yardbarker.com/college_football/article_external/an_early_look_at_louisvilles_defense_in_2013/s1_8247_12811849
